Crashes and freezing on Windows 10

Hi

I've noticed that ever since I updated to Windows 10 I've had many problems with the Unity editor and Visual Studio. As I am not sure if it just my computer starting to give up or if it is a actual problem, I've come here to ask.

So let's start with Visual Studio. It simply works great until when I need to save. It sometimes just tend to freeze and be like that for around 20-40 seconds. Very rarely does it crash but it has happened. This freezing only happens when I save. As someone who presses CTRL-S after almost every line of code that can be very annoying.

And now to the Unity editor. Firstly, if Visual Studio freezes, Unity freezes. Secondly, Unity also likes to freeze/crash when saving. Unity even crashes more than Visual Studio and sometimes it even locks me from accessing the desktop! Like it was glued to the screen. But it is not only when saving. The same results can be achieved by pressing Play and while in play mode it can happen when you stop the game or pause. It can also happen when creating assets or importing assets. Unity has frozen a few times when I created a folder. It's very fun to wait 20-40 seconds for creating a folder!
Lastly, it has even frozen when creating a project. But that has only happened twice so it is much more rare.

So, like I said, is this only my computer giving up or is someone else experiencing these issues?

 

I've been using each new Unity update and VS 2015 since upgrading on my pc from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 without any freezing issues. So not sure why you might be having problems.

 

My computer just stops and freezes with no alternative except reboot when it imports assets for the Hololens beta Unity Hololens 5.4.0b16-HTP (64-bit). I am using Windows 10 Pro. I have been exhaustively testing for hardware problems on this computer as it is a custom Gigabyte board, but have not found any. However I can import assests when running it on my laptop except that my laptop can't run the Hololens emulator, or display the scene completely using Unity Hololens 5.4.0b16-HTP (64-bit).

 

That must be so nice for you. Thanks for commenting!
